My new work schedule has pretty much taking me out of standard play in fact I can't even get a Friday night magic in and its killing me. I played the release but otherwise I haven't play in a single tourney in like a month or so. I wouldn't even know what to look for with any of the standard builds.

Well... MBS did very little to the meta... it gave standard Green Sun's Zenith, Slagstorm, Sword of Feast and Famine, and Tezzeret. It almost gave it a red deck that could win turn 3 but it was too easy to side against. Same could probably be said for Shape Anew Blightsteel. so Your deck is probably just fine :-p

It also gave us an artifact deck that can hit for 17 on turn two.

Well, S_C, I have actually been here since June 2009, haha. I've just been posting on standard forums instead.
@ Clem - You may or may not have noticed but the deck has approximately zero black in it. Which also means zero tez. When I said "like grixis but with all the good cards taken out" I meant "all the black taken out"
Hey guys. I see I am in the portal for extreme inactivity. That's true to say the least. There was some bad blood with the forums drama and I was very over it so I took a long break. I also got a new job, moved, etc. So a lot has changed in my life in the meantime and I realized I didn't have time to commit to the Izzet any more.
But I had a long run here and was a big supporter of clan events and I will always love you guys and the Izzet philosophy. I don't think I could do otherwise if I tried. I just couldn't bring myself to cut the ties here but now I realise I don't have to. So I'm officially resigning but would like to be a friend of the Clan. Because you guys are awesome and it's nice to have a place to hang out when the mood strikes ya.

Wow, I did not expect this to happen. Hey Wamyc!
On another note, bye Wamyc.
It seems like all the old members are either leaving, or disappearing. Sad to see them go, but we must go on!
Anyway, I heard SC on Commander Cast as well, bravo!
I'm liking Commander Cast more and more these days. I complete agree with SC in regards to the Paris Mulligan rules... especially on no longer getting a free mulligan. Most groups just ignore the rule and do the free mulligan anyways.

@Lucknorris yeah, i spend a lot of time lurking in the cube forum but even there i don't post much. I can't recommend cubing enough. It is an AWESOME format. I'm just on the verge of buying some cards now to finish up my lands and get some of the new cards I need.
It's nice to play a format where you only need to shell out for one Jace or and one tarmagoyf.
I'm sorry to say I never got a chance to know you Wamyc, but it's always sad to see people leave. Best of luck!
Also SC, I never listened to commander cast, but due to you being on there, I'm going to listen this weekend. I heard you did a great job tho; congrats!
@ SC Is there an official website for the Commander Cast? If so I will enjoy listening to you rather than Lady Gaga. It would be more edcautional to me in a way.
What is CommanderCast? I've never even heard of it other than ITT.
It's a Commander podcast that I do with a few other guys on the official Commander forums. d0su also is on there as well!
The link to the site in case you guys were wondering is in my sig (I should probably make the links slightly bigger but I just didn't want them being real obnoxiously large).
Help is always appreciated; the problem partially the mana base, its very unpredictable. Also, it has lost to every control deck its played against. Its very unrefined, but I to stick with him.
In other news, I finally got a chance to open a pack of Besieged. I got a fat pack, simply because I love the art on the basic lands for this block.
My Pulls were
Sad thing is I hate phyrexia and all but two were indeed phyrexian, but Hellkite, Shimmer Myr and Treasure mage are all going to go into Niv. Hopefully they help. Overall, they were pretty crappy pulls.

Hey man, it's good to see you around.
I was actually just thinking about building a cube of my own, cube drafts are always fun and it'd be nice to have one of my own.
Very true. I've been thinking about trying to find room.

It is indeed, and I would run it, but I try to build decks with flavor, and I don't want any phyrexian cards in Niv in order to keep him mirran aligned. However, this may be why hes not doing so well...
I have a feeling if Niv could pick a side it probably wouldn't be Mirran ;-) also, going phyrexian gives you consecrated sphnix!

Haha, yeah it's definitely faster! I hit someone for 15 turn 2 today... they were quite impressed.
Lol, well that's what really matters isn't it? At least to me it is.

It kinda feels that way right now, but it usually seems that way when a new set comes out.
